The 6612B is the late, thicker-plate version of the smooth-bezel originals-era Day-Date, and the reference behind the most storied of all the early Presidents: the platinum, fully Eastern-Arabic "Lone Star." Where the gold [[Reference:6612|6612]] is the smooth-bezel brother of the fluted [[Reference:6611|6611]], the 6612B carries the second-generation caliber 1055B, and in its rarest form a platinum case and bracelet, diamond hour markers and a dial with the day and date both spelled out in Arabic. That watch, named the "Lone Star" in Pucci Papaleo's ''Day-Date — The Presidential Rolex'' (Pucci Papaleo Editore, 2015), is among the first entirely Arabic-script Day-Dates Rolex made, and it sits at the very top of the originals-era market with the platinum 6612 and 6613. | The 6612B is the late, thicker-plate version of the smooth-bezel originals-era Day-Date, and the reference behind the most storied of all the early Presidents: the platinum, fully Eastern-Arabic "Lone Star."
